Default Re: Imperial Marines

It is interesting why seals and even soldiers are so high in point value. The difference between them and civilians is that the government is paying for their training and civilians have to pay their own way. Its not actually that they are "better" than other people, but there is a greater investment in them.

So basically, in a non-combat setting, a "state" can actually create any highly-skilled career individual of their choosing. A bit OT. On the other hand, an organization of sufficient resources can invest such levels of ability to their members- like the Nobles of Fading Suns.
